TaiG has made it clear on their official Weibo to warn users to keep away from installing the packages:

To all users, today there are leaks of TaiG update packages on the internet. Those are TaiG’s internal beta packages or fake ones but not the official/final. TaiG currently released V2.0.0 jaibreak tool. Please be patient, we will release the new version and notify you as soon as possible on Weibo. Apologies for letting you wait for long.

Suggest everyone not downloading the leaked internal beta package. Because we will fix the missingapplicationicon bug in the official release. We are working with Saurik (creator of Cydia) to fix UI cache issue. After fixing that, we can release the…

While we are waiting, patiently or impatiently, for the official release of a stable version of TaiG Jailbreak Tool for iOS 8.3 with major bug fixes, a while ago, TaiG’s CEO, Xie Lei, publicly thanked Saurik (Jay Freeman, creator of Cydia) for his hard work overnight with the TaiG team in the previous days.

In Xie’s personal Weibo, he mentioned that:

Saurik didn’t sleep well yesterday. While today, he didn’t even go to sleep. He stayed up late with us overnight until 6 something in the morning at his side. On the other side, TaiG folks have been staying up for 3 days, all because of the users. The new version is basically done! Please stay tuned.

Additionally, he also shared a screenshot of iMessage conversation with Saurik talking about the new packages to be used for the update, despite that the link to the package was unveiled in one of…

The jailbreak tool looks the same as the previous one. Simply plug in your device and let the tool detect the environment and recognize your device. If failed, probably you need to open up iTunes and let it recognize your device for one time. Once succeed, you are ready to go!

Their presentation topic is quite similar to the one they did in MOSEC, captioned Design, Implementation and Bypass the Chain-of-Trust Model of iOS. As introduced on the conference site, they will analyze the design, implementation and evolution of the security mechanisms in iOS along the timeline from device boot, kernel initialization, to creation and execution of a userland process, review the key steps in previous jailbreak tools for breaking the chain-of-trust model of iOS, share the critical techniques exploited by Pangu 7 and Pangu 8, and analyze and forecast potential attack surfaces for future…

I want to share with you guys on my super bad experience in pre-ordering X-Doria Defence Edge for Apple Watch and communicating with them. Their customer service really pissed me off by cheating me from time to time and they eventually canceled my order and refunded to me at last minute, but having other customer’s order being fulfilled. I hope the disclosure of the details of email communications can act as an alert to you in ordering from them.

I pre-ordered on 10 April for the Gold Color option but changed my mind to silver after 2 days. I got confirmation from the customer service representative Kim Brown that she would take care of my pre-order.

On 27 April, I checked my order on their website and it said my order had been fulfilled but I did not receive any tracking numbers for the shipment. So I emailed Kim…

Apple Music’s pre-launch marketing campaign has prominently featured big-name independent artists like FKA Twigs and Alabama Shakes, even as their record labels have publicly opposed the new service’s financial terms and indicated that they are not yet on board.

In a Wednesday press release, Beggars Group — which owns major indie labels 4ad, Matador, Rough Trade, XL Recordings, and The Young Turks — confirmed earlier reports that it has yet to reach an agreement with Apple to participate in the iPhone maker’s new streaming service. Beggars is primarily concerned with Apple’s desire to not pay royalties during the three-month free trial period, and is also worried about rights issues that could arise out of Apple Music’s Connect feature.

„At the moment we do not have an agreement with Apple Music that would allow us to participate in the new service,“ Beggars wrote. „However, we very much hope that the obstacles to…
